Okay after realizing the absolute futility of TV I have made up a few games that the box in your house can lead you in.
"Name That Company"
2+ players and 1 TV
First to name the company that the commercial is advertising for. Sometimes movie trailers and TV show commercials appear, same rules apply. More than one guess is allowed and guesses are allowed even after the company name is presented, let the faster reader survive.
You can even play quick tournaments and crown a champion. If all are committed enough an entire season can be played within 2 hours of TV watching.
For advanced players award one extra point for the saying of the catchy slogan before it is said
Dodge-Grab life by the horns
Amstel Light-The beer drinkers Light Beer
In the case of undetermined winner, no points allotted at all.
"Sweat it out"
Randomly select a very boring channel, suggestions include-Telemundo, That Catholic Channel, The Liberty Channel, Benny Hinn Crusades (or any televangelist for that matter), Golf, QVC, TBN, guys can use baseball games effectively against girls, C-span, Women's basketball, Food network, NASCAR events....the list can form as you like it.
So basically put the remote down and watch...with 2 players first to break loses...2+ players can be elimination or gain points for each time you beg for mercy and a channel change.
May the most entertainable win!
"Call it like it is"
This game has no points or winners... it is for the non-competitive...and girls
Basically the players take turns on each channel flip on saying the exact reason they do not desire to watch that specific program. Kindof a word association thing. You can only use one word unless exceedingly needed to use two or three. The goal is for funny, so go for it.
The game is played quickly as the channel changer moves through the channels the order goes to the left and can be played for any undetermined amount of time.
Be careful of racial discrimmination, gender bias, and cussing. Have fun!
Thanks all for posting comments!!Be sure to tell your friends!
Hardcore theological musing soon coming...stay tuned

"Sweat it out" - Brother has tried to play that occassionally and it's painful, i'd rather be punched in the face!!!
Another "game" testing perseverance and patience he tries to play is in the car when he's driving and it's summer and he turns on the heat and you don't realize why it's so stinkin hot until 5 min later and he's like "oh oh oh, i thought it was air!!!" HA!
